Best D.R. Harris scent? Where does everyone shop online?

[bacon.jay]

Two questions, simple enough.

What is everyone's favorite scent of the D. R. Harris shaving soap?

And where does everyone shop online for their shaving soaps? I know of WestCoastShaving.com and ClassicShaving.com, but that's it. Where else do you all shop?

Also, my mom makes soap, and I just asked her to take a crack at some shave soap for me to try. All of her soap is tallow-based cold-process stuff. Does anyone have any suggestions for formula that I can give her? She's never made shave soap, and it's actually been awhile since she's made any soap at all.

Marlborough is my favorite scent!

Oh...and I shop just about anywhere that sells quality wetshaving kit. Saint Charles Shave, Gentlemen's Quarterly, Gentlemen's Best, WCS, Superlather.com, Shaving Essentials, Vintage Blades, Straight Razor Designs etc etc.

The list goes on....

I have the Pink A/S, Marlborough Soap, and Arlington Soap, A/S, and EdT.

The Arlington Soap is my favorite, but I prefer the Pink to the AS by a small margin. I got the A/S from Amazon, and the rest from English Shaving, but since then Phil at Bullgoose has started stocking Harris.

I'm a big fan of Marlborough. Didn't like it at first but it grew on me. I also have Arlington in a stick which I'm going to use soon; I like the sweet smell so far. I've bought these soaps from WCS and Bullgoose and they've both been great to me.

I strongly resent that.

I have the Arlington , but nI want to try the almond next. I like to buy from vintagebladesllc.com

I went into the shop in St James's in London and asked them what was their "signature" product. They said Arlington.
I must say that Harris creams are incredibly lush. Absolute pure luxury at a level above the 3Ts. But you do pay for it.

 

[Rudy Vey]

I like their lavender soap, and BullGoose carries them now as well.

 

[drumana]

Arlington or Marlborough don't work for me (scent wise). The Lavender is superb... I'm looking forward to trying the Almond. I buy from Vintage Blades

Marlborough. I like Arlington too. Best is always highly subjective though and you need to figure out what you prefer rather than rely on popularity.

I've never encountered a chimney that smells like Marlborough...

 

[Empty Words]

My favorite D.R. Harris soap scent is Marlborough, and it is probably the only one that I will buy again. I like the Lavender, though the scent is too light. I'm not too big on the scents of the Almond and Arlington. I bought most of my D.R. Harris soaps from The English Shaving Company.

Only one that I have is D.R. Harris lavender, and it is very nice! Just wish the aroma was more pronounced; great, sweet lavender. From reviewing, I understand that the D.R. Harris almond is said to be a great soap.

 

[DanOK]

I like the almond (only one I have tried to date). Of course I am still mad at C&E for discontinuing Sweet Almond. Charlies over at QED also sells D.R. Harris.

 

[ackvil]

I also like the almond soap. Although when I mix a soap with a cream I like the unscented soaps.

It would be a hell of a lot easier for me to choose if D. R. Harris or any of the other online retailers actually had a description of the scent on their websites.

If it helps, right now the colognes I have in my rotation is Aqua de Gio, Kenneth Cole Reaction, and Lucky You, by Lucky Brand.

Lucky You is probably my favorite. Amazon has it listed as

" ...Classified As A Sharp, Woody, Mossy Fragrance.
- This Masculine Scent Possesses A Blend Of Youthful Citrus."

I'd like something similar to that. Which D. R. Harris is closest?

 

[Klarion]

Sounds like Arlington.

[bazwalk]
